MPG2Cut 2 Build 7701
1) Multiple clips into a single file.
After making a selection, click the "+" button
to add the clip into the Edit selection List.
When you have selected all your clips,
Menu - File - Save ALL to save all the clips.
If you just want to save ONLY the current selection,
Menu - File - Save This to save just the current selection.
Players may pause at joins - try hitting PLAY.
This is because I am not rebuilding the internal Time Stamps.
Preview function of multiple clips (SHIFT-F8)
is a bit rough around the edges.
2) Multiple Input files.
Reinstated the ability to concatenate multiple input files.
Added a menu command to DELETE all the input files.
This is a REAL delete - *NOT* a recycle.
3) Compatibility improvements.
Overcomes most of the problems reported by users regarding
Mpeg2Cut incompatibility with other software:
Output Format controls to standardise start and end of file.
Preamble options to copy headers from original file.
Padding option to pad out end of clip or file.
Clip scoping changed from I-Frame start block number
to instead use SEQ/GOP header start address.
4) More Fault Tolerance.
Much less vulnerable to transmission errors.
This is especially important when working with cruddy DTV captures.
5) Interface with Windows Explorer
Now accepts file name via parm area.
Output file names are now based on input file name.
6) Toolbar changed.
Moved to top to allow for picture height > display height
Extra buttons for ergonomic reasons.
Button size scaled according to screen resolution.
Extra buttons and info on progress window.
7) BMP snapshot no longer requires RGB24 display.
Option to separate interlaced fields.
Name now based on input file name and frame time stamp.
8) Display Enhancements.
- Aspect Ratio Correction
- Fast De-Interlace
- Align view window based on primary mouse click within image area.
- Zoom-Out through toolbar button or secondary mouse click;
// not yet:- Zoom-In at double-click position (Max=1:1)
- Release overlay when minimized
- Attempt to reacquire overlay after DisplayChange
or Mpeg canvas size increase.
Most MPEG files have anamorphic (squeezed) pixels.
Program now allows for this,
so even Cinemascope looks almost sensible.
HDTV (1080) viewed on low-res screen (640) will ZOOM OUT by default.
Amount of Zoom can be controlled through "Z" button on toolbar.
To allow for previewing HDTV on a small processor,
option to skip frames when behind, during play/preview processing.
This is rather rough, so only turn on when really needed.
RGB mode support for view enhancements is very basic. YUY2 is better.
Gamma control added to Luminance dialog.
This allows you to adjust for the difference in luminal linearity
that exists between TV standards and PC video cards.
Also, the gain control now acts more like classic TV contrast control.
This slows down "PLAY" mode, as it is less efficient than the basic
controls that existed in the previous version, which used MMX.
9) Navigation Keys.
SHIFT key speeds up the arrow keys. Other new keys defined.
Because I am impatient.
"Fast Back" option to speed up backward stepping.
10) Intelligent reset of OUT point
on subsequent IN selection.
Now resets OUT to END.
11) Shows how many MegaBytes are selected out of total MB.
Also checks amount of free space on output FAT drive.
Estimated time left when outputing large file.
12) Default Output folder and Extension.
13) Visual EOF Indicator.
Display now shows a visual indicator of EOF reached,
to clearly distinguish it from the last image shown. (YUY2 mode).
13) Frame Rate Controls.
14) Sped up Mpeg decoder a little bit.
Still scope for trimming fat from the processing of component buffers.
15) Reduced tendency to swamp the system when copying large selections.
Can be adjusted using the "Slow" option or buffer size Menu control.
16) Shows Time Co-ordinates.
Current position is shown as time relative to start of file.
Assumes timestamp sequence is unbroken.
Alternatively co-ordinates can be shown as the actually internal value
of the Mpeg time stamps, or just a block number within the file.
Swap formats by clicking on the time display.
Preference is given to GOP based time codes,
but can fall back to PTS basis when GOP time missing.
17) MPAlib version chosen by program.
The user no longer needs to understand the difference in hardware
between models of CPU with different hardware features.
Repackaged the "Dark Avenger" Audio DLLs into a single ZIP file,
downloadable from the same page as Mpg2Cut.
People did not like having to search 2 different sites for downloads.
However, the actual content of the DLLs has not changed.
18) Cleaned up code for grabbing Private Streams.
but there is more to do on this, especially on Stream 2.
More info displayed about mpeg audio layer.
19) More info in Title bar and Stats panel.
Progessive/Interlaced indicator (p/i) after vertical line count
Field encode structure (Top first/Bottom first/p=progressive encode)
EG 576ip means interlaced original, encoded progressively).
I wonder why so many files from interlaced field sources
are encoded as NON-FIELD (Full Frame) pictures,
as if they were from a progressive source ?
20) Garbage Collection Command.
So you've deleted a file and it ain't in the recycle bin.
You've even looked in the Norton Proctected bin and it ain't there either.
The File Garbage Reclaim command converts free space on disk into a file,
to allow browsing of very deleted data. All very wobbly though.
+ Miscellaneous little changes.

--------------------
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
"WeWantWideScreen" for sample code for field expansion.
Many thanks to Brent Beyeler for his "BBtools" package.
This has been very helpful in figuring what the heck is going on !
--------------------
OTHER KNOWN BUGS & LIMITATIONS
===============-==============
0) Files larger than 2GB may *NOT* be accepted by the host file system.
Although Mpg2Cut2 can create large files,
the File System may not accept it.
ISO DVD-ROM files must NOT exceed 2GB,
but you won't find out UNTIL you try to burn it.
1) Timestamps are not corrected at joins.
Some players will pause at the join,
or become confused in other ways.
2) Buffer Bitrate limits are not checked.
Players with limited capabilities may not like the joins.
3) Bad MPEG data MAY still cause crashes,
BUT it's a LOT less frequent in this version.
Since the macro-block decoder is a mystery to me,
there are still problems that I haven't allowed for.
4) Always puts an MPEG header at the front,
even if you don't really want it to.
However, you can set "preamble" to SMALL
to reduce the amount of crud.
Setting preamble to NONE corresponds to ver 1.15 of Mpeg2Cut,
except that the System Header is slightly more general.
5) After applying SP5 service pack, EXE grew by 20% overnight,
and I started getting more crashes. Don't like this.
6) In DirectX9, when overlay unavailable,
not automatically falling back to RGB.
Use the Hardware menu to manually select RGB mode.
7) Luminance control might benefit from being rewritten in MMX.
8) Some MP2 audio tracks don't play properly.
EG low-bit-rate mono.
9) Scrollbar - drag is unreliable.
Some subtle bug - I need to learn about scroll bar handling.
10) Slow-Motion with NON-Mpeg Audio ignored if LOCK TO AUDIO ticked.

Change Log for this Pre-Alpha :
* Reduced tendency to sleep for a few seconds when closing audio.
This was very annoying, but it is now significantly reduced. However, there is still an issue with fast play sound getting too far ahead.
* DISABLED 2 OPTIONS :- DEEP PARSING, PARSE ALL PACKETS.
There are bugs, and it makes my brain hurt, so these are now OFF.
* Auto-Split output by Clip.
Saves each clip into a separate file in a single action.This is the RECOMMENDED approach, for compatibility with other players.
File - Save PARTS - Split - @clip.
* Option to automatically added Clip number to Output File Name.
When manually saving each clip as you go along, it will automatically add the clip number to the name of the output file.
Menu - Output - Default Extension - Add Clip Number.
* Auto-Preview on BMP snapshot.
To avoid being surprised by the effect of the difference in Luminance settings between Overlay and RGB modes, a preview of how the frame looks in RGB mode will be shown, together with the luminance controls to allow adjustment.
Closing the Luminance controls commits the BMP .
By default, this Auto-Preview action only occurs on the first snap from the file, but this can be changed in the Menu - Output - BMP - Auto-Preview.
Expert users can modify the effect of the Luminance preset buttons. INI file :- "LumPresets=gamma1,contrast1,brightness1;gamma2,contrast2,brightness2;".
* CUE mode throttle.
The CUE button seemed way too fast on a Pentium 4, so now it will default to being around the same speed as a P3 CUE.
If you prefer the faster CUE on a P4, then turn OFF :-
MENU - PREVIEW - TIMING METHOD - NOT SO FAST.
* Crop Top and Bot Edges.
Some videos have annoying dots on the top or bottom edge, can now be hidden from view.
Menu - View - Cropping- Crop Top and Bot Edges.
* Option to invert view (Vertical Flip).
Menu - View - Special FX - Invert. [Shift-I]
* Playback volume handling changes.
Volume limiting option for quieter preview of loud files. Reduces the playback ceiling to roughly 70% of maximum. Volume boost and ceiling values can be overridden in the INI file. Auto reset of Audio track number if selected track not found.
Hysteresis on Automatic Volume Control.
* New action - Split Selection.
The portion of the current selection up to the current view becomes a clip, the selection is updated to exclude that section, so that the new From point is set to the current view position,
* Post-Process command line can now be much longer.
* Batch command line can specify multiple input file names.
There is a slight bug - the picture does not show until you navigate. EG: Mpg2Cut2 "File1.mpg" "File2.mpg" "File3.mpg"
* Toolbar options.
Toolbar Buttons and Scrollbar can now be toggled separately. F12 = Scrollbar Only_ _ Alt-F12 = Buttons Only _ _ F11 = Both. Toggling and External players are now under the Window heading.
* Settings can be saved for Zoom and Aspect Ratio override.
* Allow for Packless Program Streams.
* Tidy up of RGB mode and Fast 420 yuy2 chroma deinterlacer.
* Fixed bug in LPCM decode where packet split across block.
* Smarter alignment of leading audio packets.
Try to avoid false syncword bit patterns.
* Experimental option to unmux audio in PES format.
Allows retention of timing info in PES hdr. Still experimental.
* Correctly report Mpeg Audio Extensions.
Mpeg 2.5 and Low Sampling Frequency extensions will now report correctly.
* Slow-1 now adjusts for difference between silent FPS and sound FPS.
Use when viewing silent film that was telecined too fast. (Keyboard shortcut = 's')
* Allow for bug in ATI driver.
Some ATI drivers sometimes give sloping video on first display. To fix :-
MENU - VIEW - TECHNICAL - Overlay Notification - ATI sloping.
* Manual allowance for Monitor Aspect ratio problems.
A new INI file line wth the keyword "N3" has been created. The first value on that line is a percentage amount to adjust for Monitor issues. EG. If the image on the monitor is 5% too wide, then set "N3=-5" to reduce the image width by 5%. Leave the other parameters on that line unchanged. Reserved for future use.
* Experimental Audio read-ahead option.
Experimental feature preparatory to possible lip sync during preview, eventually.
* Misc minor changes.
* Warning for Panasonic DVD recorders :-
I still need to do a lot more work for compatibility. E.g. Long clips still seem to have problems for some reason.
* Warning for Satellite users :-
The Time Stamp correction option is NOT compatible with Satellite.

Change Log for this Alpha :-
- Volume Control Slider
__The new [V] button brings up a Volume Control window.
__that has 2 sliders and a number of tick boxes.
__The 1st slider is a conventional volume control.
__The 2nd slider is for the Audio Limiter.
__The Limiter is useful when ads are much louder than the program.
__Boost settings are storeded separately for different types of audio track,
__and will be retained across sessions as an option.
__Misc improvements have been made to Automatic Volume Control (AVC).
- Space bar toggles Play/Pause.
__Previously this only operated if already playing.
__Now it can be used to start playing as well.
__Note that Pause is different to Stop (Esc key),
__as Stop aligns on an I-frame, suitable for From/To marking,
__but Pause just freezes the decoder mid-stream.
- Small change in terminology.
__"Append File" is now called "Add File".
- New Time option - REL and TOD together.
__New option shows both Relative time and recorded Time Of Day together,
__to avoid the need to change back and forth between REL and TOD.
____Menu - Misc - Time Format - REL & TOD.
- Ability to change Luminance button preset values.
__Adjust sliders for the new setting that you want;
__Click the [@] button;
__Then click the button you want changed to this new setting.
- Moved "Swap U-V" and "Negative" into Luminance dialog.
__Originally these were menu options. Now they are buttons.
- Keyboard shortcuts for Luminance buttons [B], [C] and [D].
__Shift-L (B=Bold); Ctrl-L (D=Default); Shift-Ctrl-L (C).
__Alt-L (toggle the Luminance enable on/off).
__Quicker than bringing up the Luminance dialog to click on a button.
- Adjusted processing of command line parameters.
__There is a problem with the "no-confirm" option, so it is turned off.
- Better navigation when average bitrate much lower than Nominal.
__Large jumps will now be calculated using average bitrate rather than nominal.
__Fastback option now updates during preview.
- Drop Padding option extended.
__Drop Padding will now drop Vob NAV Packs as well.
__The option will also temporarily turn on "Parse All Pkts".
__Dropping will be inhibited if saving to VOB format
__or if using Vob Preservation option.
- Selective saving of audio tracks.
__Fixed bugs in the "Save Parts" dialog.
__NOT TESTED MUCH, as I don't have many multi-audio files.
- Transport Stream PID controls cleaned-up.
__When viewing a Transport Stream (TS),
__the Menu - View - PID controls are easier to use.
__Just tick "Current" once you are viewing the PID that you are interested in.
__To go back to seeing all PIDs, tick "All".
- Misc minor changes.
USAGE NOTE FOR AUDIO LIMITER
If you have the Volume Boost set quite HIGH, (1st slider)
but the Limiter set quite LOW, (2nd slider)
then they will be acting AGAINST each other.
This will provide maximum smoothing of volume levels,
but background noises may become annoying.
EG Traffic noise, people breathing, camera whirr, tape hiss.
So adjust according to your personal taste.

_The Time Stamp correction option is NOT compatible with Satellite.

USAGE NOTE FOR AUDIO LIMITER
If you have the Volume Boost set quite HIGH, (1st slider)
but the Limiter set quite LOW, (2nd slider)
then they will be acting AGAINST each other.
This will provide maximum smoothing of volume levels,
but background noises may become annoying.
EG Traffic noise, people breathing, camera whirr, hiss.
So adjust according to your personal taste.
